After two whole months of elections, Natalie Portman has been re-elected Miss Rice World 2003, proving herself to be the Shaq of the Beeotch Contest! All hail Natalie! May we have another 3 years of prosperity here at Rice World.

Rice and I have decided to do things differently this year. Because of Natalie's busy schedule, she needs a proxy to represent her in some Rice World assignments. That's why Rice and I decided to create a Vice Miss Rice World position. Natalie will show up on major articles and events, but Zhang Ziyi will be her representative on smaller occasions.

All must rejoice at this sacred coronation! Trumpets blare!

We would like to thank all the readers who voted in this Contest. W/o you guys, this woulda just been another lame brain ratings-boosting gimmick hatched by Rice and me. Instead, it has been a success. Thanks for your participation, thanks for your feedback, and above all, thanks for being loyal to Rice World.

3-Peat! 3-Peat! I look forward to the next Beeotch Contest. Thanks again.
